Big turbo build- take two

[The_RoadWarrior]

Cable and ECU are on their way back to me!

ECU checks out, cable needed some repair- a big thanks goes out to Eurodyne's Chris Tapp

Now to try and squeeze my car into Force Fed for some intercooler piping and hopefully after that I can finally drive this thing...

Good news, remember the be anal about the brake-in procedures this time and re-torquing the head (don't put it on the dyno even if it's tempting). I can't wait to get my hands on it to squeeze some power out of maestro on a corn fed BT.

[20v master]

W00T for corn!

PS I'm real close to converting my lowly 180Q.

[DougLoBue]

Any motor break in procedures/advice? Fluids to be used/changed and when?

Edit: LOL

[cincyTT]

Most I have seen and I used myself was non syn oil and run through the rev range to get good heat to seat the rings properly. Limiting the revs may keep you from getting a good seal. A hundred miles later, change the oil still with non syn again for 500 miles then back to full syn. There is also break in oils you can try.

Yep, that's the way to do it!
Doug has it under control this time.

[DougLoBue]

Just did front control arms on the BMW. First side took hours then second about 30 minutes. Nightmare.

While I did that AAA picked my car up and now I'm going to see it at Force Fed. Intercooler piping should be getting done or at least started today. I'm sure there will be photos to follow.

I've done these on the race car at work several times and they are not that bad with the right tools and some practice.

[PLAYED TT]

I spy a sledge hammer.

Yea I learned that. Had to buy a ball joint popper fork and use a sledge hammer hard a bunch of times to remove the balljoint. Second side I got done in under an hour.

Nice I have been waiting to see a build

[Vdub 2.0]

more pics!!

[Neb]

IIRC to change your cluster mileage the dealer has to do it.

[DougLoBue]

I'm being sent teaser pics... aka the car will be done tonight it looks like!

Ed's the effin' man! - This is the exact way I wanted to route it:

[Vdub 2.0]

done tonight that excellent.. will she be up and running?

[20psi now]

love it... now when you get done ill drive out there and trade you car's and take a fast car home!!

[MKllllvr28]

Lookin good man.

[DeckManDubs]

Good to see the progress Doug! Seems like you will stand a better shot at running me on the way down to H2O

[warranty225cpe]

Damn! I wish I lived up by you guys. I'd probably have gone BT by now

lol senior Gregory needs the hookup with a verdict kit to keep up!

Oh and TT info- the battery box fits perfectly. Looks like I will be able to run a full-size battery up front

[giacTT]

Let me know how the lag goes is on this...Not sure i would like anything larger than my 3076... Very interested in your wb issues however. Im still on Nb with eurodyne tune. Chris doesnt seem to want to make a bigger
file for me unless i switch to WB.

[DougLoBue]

Last year with a small port head and stock intake manifold:





I'm suspecting the large port head & intake manifold will make spool a little quicker. I'm pretty sure the boost curve is similar to a 3076R... If you're running a vband setup just remember that they are two different size vbands.

I'll definitely update about the Eurodyne WB file this week. I can assure you that the issues were on my end not his. My post on the first page digging into the differences between NB vs. WB and CAN-BUS vs. K line should all be ignored. All TT's WB or NB had both a CAN-BUS communication system and a K-line diagnostic system.

The CB system connects ECU/ABS/Haldex. The difference between NB and WB was CB also communicates with the cluster and radio on WB, which is probably just for the information readout.

The K-line also connects all those devices and more on both NB & WB for diagnostic purposes and also flash purposes.

That he does...Got a new toy coming out in the late spring that you can run then

The new piping is far better than the old setup. No more heat soak

Damn! I wish I lived up by you guys. I'd probably have gone BT by now

Dont need a big turbo to be fast

[DougLoBue]

You guys like the new wheel and tire setup?

Do it.

[l88m22vette]

I like rally TTs but that's ridiculous

[G'D60]

new batmobile??

[DougLoBue]

Not motor related but:

Tonight modified a Belkin Bluetooth receiver made for home AC outlets to work off an iPod charger. The EQ I have has an A/B switch so I'll have iPod direct input and charging then Bluetooth wireless audio from any device.

It just so happens that the Belkin is 5v/180mA so it works perfectly with an iPod charger. I'll hardwire the charger hidden behind the dash. The Belkin has a minijack output so I'll just run a minijack to RCA Cable.

[MKllllvr28]

You sir, are an electronic junkie.

[PLAYED TT]

And a genius

Nice, any chance of cloning?

[warranty225cpe]

Mmmmm.... (dreams of a F23 on E85....................)

[DougLoBue]

Yea- no problem. The parts were like $40 total and it took a minute to modify. Do you still have a stock radio though?

Everything is stock besides a few suspension and engine mods here and there !

[DougLoBue]

We can swap your CD changer for it then if you don't mind sacrificing that.

ECU should be in today. I think that Ed finished up the piping yesterday. Shooting to turn the motor over for the first time Thursday or possibly Friday at my house if you're around- I'll let ya know when.
